Just 'over-hauled' my profile. Have not removed old details. To see what I change in a year's time.

I don't know how much of the below is true anymore. But I recently quit my job to start a game studio of my own. Was able to raise funds and we are working on our first title. As you can see that has somewhat 'defined' me for the time being as I can't seem to think about anything else but my start-ups and the games we are working and the things which can go on and on and on and on ..so yeah I'm pretty much occupied by that.

I believe in making the best use of my time. Always up for meeting interesting people and talking about anything and everything under the sun. I appreciate every conversation which can add to my understanding of the world and people.And people sharing their experiences and learning-via-proxy is highly valued.

I'm driven, ambitious, straight forward and down to earth (Yes I'm awesome!). On the other side, I'm sarcastic and alot of people do not seem to appreciate that. I can tune out of things very easily ( a bad thing apparently! ).

I have lived and worked in Iran, Pakistan , Singapore and US. SO always up for meeting people with a broader world view and interesting experiences.

Oh and I don't use facebook at all. Only twitter, linkedin and okc (occasionally).

**Previously****I'd like to think I'm normal but then i guess normal is a relative term. I'm usually very happy-go-lucky with occasional phases of darkness and utter hopelessness at the state of Pakistan, world and many other things. I'm a realist but I don't think I have completely let go of the idealist inside me. In an ideal life I'd like to go on to do my doctorate and live out the rest of my life being a lazy professor ! The dream is still alive ! I like to read books but rarely get to finish one, have 2 unfinished ones and I hope to be done with them before the year ends ! EDIT: year ended and i'm not still done with the books ! Damn.

What I’m doing with my life

Just quit my job to start a game studio of my own. So for all I know, I might be wasting my time =P But I wouldn't do it any differently.

I’m really good at

nothing. I'm Ok at a lot of things. Jack of all trades but master of none. I'm very observant though and have a very good memory. I can tell you almost everything you tell during a conversation even 10 years down the line!

The first things people usually notice about me

pot belly for sure ! I do seem to have an infectious laugh. That is when I laugh and not 'lol'. *I'm loling right now =P*

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

If it tastes good I like it ! But a huge food fan (hence the pot belly) and love thai & chinese food. But nothing beats persian cuisine and greasy oily desi food at times! Yes there is not set pattern, I just love all kind of food!

Any music which makes me move?!

The six things I could never do without

High speed internet, my notebook, my phone are top three. But the list is surely much longer than six.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

random stuff. Can't really point to one thing. Ask me when we meet what I'm thinking about nowadays. But mostly it's about games and tech world.

On a typical Friday night I am

Before I started my own thing I was mostly out. Now I'm mostly at office but as soon as I get done. I go out. So my friday night starts around 11pm.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

Depends on who I'm admitting it to. But I have my vices ( so I have been told) and share of weird antics.And I pretty much admit to anything in person. Having it out on a public forum isn't really the most wise thing.

You should message me if

If you have any questions ! haha. If you think we can have a nice conversation, a shared background which can be a basis of good exchange or if you feel like it.

I'm more interested in meeting people here to be friends with rather than a date. Dating is mostly messy and people are coy, but meeting new and interesting people is always nice and refreshing and everyone is so open about everything!

**Previously**you don't have a stick/pole up your butt, you are genuinely looking to meet or get to know new people, you can reply in a timely fashion, you can dish out as well as take friendly banter or looking for interesting conversations.An easy lay ( hmmm..not sure if i will be up for an easy lay. too many things to consider so i guess you can't message me for an easy lay but for a difficult one i say bring it on !! ) hahaha
